CANADA Canada - Noreen Greenley, 13, Bowmanville, Ont, 14 Sept 1963

[nova1998]

The more I read up on this case it sounds like there is a suspect who worked for some construction company and who may have buried her in a car. Hopefully future searches of the property in question will come up with what relatives are looking for.

COLD CASE: Family relentless in quest to bring missing Bowmanville teen home

“She is not just an unsolved, forgotten cold case or some files of paper collecting dust in a box”

www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com

'The last sighting of Noreen Anne Greenley occurred Sept. 14, 1963, a Saturday night.

''Noreen, born May 16, 1950, was the third of Harvey and Nadine Greenley's seven children. She had spent the evening in Bowmanville with her best friend Bonnie Wilkins and Bonnie's boyfriend, Gary Woolner. The kids had enjoyed some bowling at Liberty Bowl and a bite to eat, and were walking toward Bonnie's house on Waverly Road when they parted; Noreen crossed the street in order to catch the King Street bus home to her family's house in Maple Grove.

Noreen never got on the bus. She was never seen again'

'In the midst of all this, one tip emerged: a neighbour of the Wilkins family reported seeing a Ford automobile believed to be a dark-coloured 1957 to 1959 Prefect - a box-shaped vehicle with a distinctive front grille - in the vicinity of the bus stop at the time Noreen would have been there. The driver was described only as a man who wore a black hat.'

"Noreen once was here with us," Kelly Greenley said at the time. "She is not just an unsolved, forgotten cold case or some files of paper collecting dust in a box. She was a young, 13-year-old, vibrant girl who enjoyed baseball, skating, bowling, horseback riding and baking, and loved her family very much."

The Crime Stoppers number in Durham Region is 1-800-222-8477.''

HUNTER: Finally answers in 1963 disappearance of Bowmanville girl, 13?

Sixty autumns have come and gone since Noreen Greenley went bowling on a Saturday night and then vanished into thin air.

torontosun.com

From the above article:

“A three year grant from the Ministry of the Solicitor General has also helped. Each year, 15 Toronto cases and 15 from the rest of the province are submitted for DNA technology investigation.”

That’s it?

From searching online, Toronto has a population of nearly 3 million people, and Ontario has a population of approx. 15.5 million. So, the government is willing to fund genetic genealogy investigations on 30 cases a year (and apparently only for three years)? That’s mighty generous of them!

At that rate, todays cold cases will become tomorrow’s ice cold cases (maybe forgotten completely). By the time a “DNA Technology investigation” is authorized for any given case, it seems that anybody who knew the victim will have already passed away. WAY too little, WAY too late

HUNTER: New twists in 1963 Noreen Greenley disappearance

For the broken-hearted, hope dies hard. Any strand, no matter how tentative or precarious, is grasped as if one's life depended on it.

torontosun.com

''The 13-year-old sports enthusiast vanished on Sept. 14, 1963. Thursday marked the 60th anniversary.

Investigators are now pursuing a previously unexplored avenue: That Noreen left of her own accord and may not have been abducted.

“It is believed that Noreen went to Oshawa where she stayed for two weeks. She then travelled to Whitby where she stayed for approximately three weeks,” Durham Regional Police said in a statement.

“Noreen stayed in Whitby with a couple named Mary and Gary Benson. She and another girl then crossed Lake Ontario in a 40-foot cabin cruiser called the ‘Mary Bell’ owned by a man named ‘Franko.'”

Detectives believe the boat travelled from Oshawa across Lake Ontario to Rochester, N.Y.

“It is believed that Noreen settled into a motel or cabin in Syracuse, N.Y. Information was received that she was pregnant at that time, and she later gave birth to a baby boy.”

Investigators said they had identified a number of phone numbers of interest in the decades-long probe. The owners of these phone numbers have not been identified.

Four of the numbers are in Toronto while the last one is a Peterborough number. They are: 781-1373, 925-3654, 745-9145, 925-3654, and 781-1373. If any of these phone numbers are familiar to you, contact police.

Really odd development. The police say her father told them in 1968 that Noreen was not abducted but ran away and that she was pregnant at the time. He also said she stated with friends of hers in Oshawa. How does this relate to stories about a car speeding by her sister and her sister saying she heard her screams? We also hear stories of her relatives still looking for her and being buried in a car near Bowmanville. Didn't her father tell anybody else in the family what he told the police? Didn't the police tell other family members what the father had told them after he died?

This information about Noreen being pregnant is so different from anything else that has been shared about her missing case. If her father knew what happened to her, and he wanted her to return home, why didn’t he devote the resources searching for her in Canada to searching for her in Rochester? Did he really want her found? Why didn’t the other people who were housing her or transporting her not come forward? We’re people taking her away from danger at home? Who was the father of her baby? Did he know where she was going? Did he meet her in Rochester? Has the rest of the family known what happened to Noreen all along?? If so, why waste precious resources looking for her here when so many other families having missing members and could have used those resources? If Noreen is alive or was for many years after running away, why didn’t she want to be found? Why did she never say I’m alive and well, so don’t search for me? It sounds like there is so much more to this story than the public was ever told. I hope Noreen is still alive and that she has had a safe and happy life, away from whatever scared her into running away.

 

[dig'n'seek]

I am a little confused about the timeline.

If she leaves at 11pm, 20 minute walk, waits 10 minutes and then walks back? Then why would they ask the 11:30pm bus driver and not the driver of the next bus?

I believe the 20 min is just a typo. It is actually 2- two minutes

Human remains have been found in Bowmanville. Any chance this could be her, or has too much time passed?
